One D kicked off with Midnight Memories and Little Black Dress and though the pyrotechnics meant the stage was smoke-filled for the first few songs, the big screens came to the rescue to show us the action.

Fan favourites such as Kiss Me were met by a chorusing crowd, while Rock Me got feet moving and hands waving.

Don’t Forget Where You Belong showed off cheeky chappy Niall’s vocals, while Live While We’re Young saw the boys jumping from slope to slope on the stage to meet their fans on the extended runway.

Little Things and Diana also pleased the excited crowd and there were plenty of hit songs to keep faithful Directioners happy.

What Makes You Beautiful got the lungs of screaming girls working and Story of My Life pushed them further to reach fever pitch.

By the time that Best Song Ever was played, the mostly pink wearing, face-painted crowd of little girls didn’t want to leave and had to be dragged home by tired mums and dads – as they replayed videos of the concert on their phones.
